Spiral-Wrapped Sausages on a Stick

Spiral-Wrapped Sausages on a Stick

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 envelope Fleischmann's® RapidRise Yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon Mazola® Vegetable Plus! Oil
1 egg
1-1/4 to 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
12 polish sausages, brats, or any other fully cooked sausage/dog
12 popsicle sticks
Dipping Sauce:
1/3 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoons dill pickle relish, lightly drained

Instructions

Mix whole wheat flour, yeast, salt and sugar in a mixer bowl.
Combine cottage cheese, water and oil; heat to very warm, between 120° to 130°F.
Add to flour mixture along with the egg. Beat for 3 minutes on medium speed.
Add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; beat 1 minute. Gradually add enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6 to 8 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
Roll dough into a 12 x 10-inch rectangle. Cut twelve 1-inch strips (each 10 inches in length). Wrap a strip around each sausage, tucking ends under sausage.
Place on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet.
Cover and let rise 20 minutes, until puffy (dough will not double).
Place in preheated 350°F oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
Remove and insert stick in one end. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
Dipping Sauce: Combine mustard and relish in a small bowl.
Recipe Tip: These can be frozen after baking. To do, simply wrap tightly in foil, then freeze for up to 3 weeks. Thaw in refrigerator, then either heat in 350° oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until heated through OR place Polish dog(s) on a plate and microwave about 45 seconds per dog until heated.
